Casa La Femme

Transport yourself to a faraway land, as you dine at a romantic tent-table in this popular Egyptian-themed West Village restaurant. A hip staff serves authentic, spicy Middle Eastern food (their hummus is some of the best in town) and upscale cocktails, all in an opulent lounge setting complete with cozy fire pit. Make later reservations if you want to catch the decadent belly-dancing performances (shows nightly at 9:15, with additional weekend shows at midnight).
